Local residents stretch out at chair-based yoga

A group of locally-based over 50s headed to Anfield earlier this month to enjoy a yoga session with a difference.

Red Neighbours' chair-based yoga is aimed at local residents looking for a gentle introduction to physical activity, and the sessions are becoming increasingly popular within the Anfield area, with numbers growing each month.

Chair-based yoga is a gentle form of the exercise that is practised sitting on a seat or standing using the chair for support. Regular attendees have seen their fitness levels improve so much that they're now mastering most standing poses.

Current attendees range from 50 to 92 years old, but the sessions welcome people of all ages and abilities.

Chair-based yoga supports two of the key areas of focus for Red Neighbours: engaging with the elderly community and encouraging a physically active community.
